...Wright's sacrifice hit, the latter going out at first; Howe was fielded out by second to first. The ninth inning was begun amid great excitement, the spectators being about equally divided in their preferences, and each party evincing much enthusiasm at the brilliant plays of their respective favorites; neither side scored in this inning, although O'Rourke led off with a base hit, his temerity in attempting to steal second rendered him an easy victim to Tyng and Sawyer.

Jeremiah, in consideration of his increased happiness, consented to abandon his literary projects, and to devote himself to farming. In this pursuit he achieved a success which neither he nor a great many other young men like him could have won in poetry or prose...
